I spoke about Charlotte Connolly's situation and I ask the Government to intervene. Charlotte is looking for a three-month trial of the drug in question. Other people with the same condition have taken it in the United States and have experienced huge health benefits. Charlotte was diagnosed three and a half years ago. If it was the Taoiseach's loved one in this scenario, he would do absolutely anything to extend his or her life and Charlotte just wants to have a go at life, which she deserves. As somebody who lives out in Blanchardstown, where this drug is made, can the Taoiseach make an exception so that Charlotte Connolly can have the chance she deserves?
